Find that your phone is starting to slow down or freeze up?

-Check for software updates to see if you have the latest software by plugging your blackberry into the Desktop manager on your computer (The set-up disc for Desktop Manager can be found in the box your phone came in)

-Try freeing up some memory in your phone by deleting messages and call history. Be sure to use a memory card for pictures and videos.
